  Why can't we be friends?  x 4

I seen you round for a long long time, yeah
I remembered you when you drank my wine

  Why can't we be friends?  x 4

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

  Why can't we be friends?  x 4

I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standin' in it every time

  Why can't we be friends?  x 4
         
The color of your skin don't matter to me, no
As long as we can live in harmony

  Why can't we be friends?  x 4

I'd kinda like to be the president, oh yeah
So I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends?  x 4

Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends?  x 4

I know you're workin' for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the MaFiA

Why can't we be friends?  x 12

(ou-ou-ouh)  x 4

...fade out
